Should you let your loved one with dementia help… even when it makes everything harder?

You're told to keep them engaged. Involved. Independent. Let them contribute so they can maintain their abilities and feel useful. But sometimes when you do, everything takes longer. It gets messier. You fall behind. You feel frustrated. And then the guilt sets in for even feeling that way.

In this video, I talk about the real tension caregivers face when letting a loved one with dementia help with everyday tasks does not go smoothly. How do you decide when participation is truly helpful and when it's okay to step in and just get it done?
